23 Jul 2004PyKota 1.19beta
LPRng support rewrite : hardware accounting is now done
immediately, just as with CUPS.
- CUPS support's mainloop rewrite : no more 99% CPU usage troubles.
- Software accounting now supports PostScript (DSC compliant and
binary), PDF, PCL5, PCL6 (aka PCLXL). A new command line tool
is introduced (pkpgcounter), which can be used independantly
if needed (PyKota has to be installed though, but no config
is necessary).
- Strict enforcement of quota is now supported : if activated
(not the default), people can't be over quota anymore.
- Easier configuration. Saner defaults. Improved configuration
helper for CUPS (pkhint).
- Configurable call-home-on-crash feature to automate bug/problem
reporting to author and/or admin and/or whoever you want.
- Improved web based reports.
- More versatile LDAP specific configuration directives.
- More datas saved in the database :
printer text description, history of payments, job size
in bytes, job originating hostname.
- X Window Print Quota reminder using On Screen Display (pykosd).
- Better dispatching of error or informational messages.
- Improved documentation (a bit).
- Improved overall robustness.
- Usual bugfixes.
- PyKota stuff (T-Shirts, Bags, Mousepads...) can now be bought
from http://www.cafeshops.com/pykota so you can spread the word about this software
